I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband;
a mother, and you deprived me of my children. My blood alone remains: take it,
but do not make me suffer long. ~Marie Antoinette

“It would be mortifying to the feelings of many ladies, could they be made to understand how little the heart of a man is affected by what costly or new is in their attire …”
~Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
